Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 153: Chapter 120: Return! Autumn-Winter Hunting Ends_2

“Old Ancestor Haofeng is being overly courteous, who among us isn’t a Rank 9 nobody?” Wang Shouzhe smirked coldly as if laughing but not quite, “Survival isn’t easy for any family.”

“In that case, we have a large residence in Changning Guard City, along with five prime stores facing the street, adding up to more than ten thousand Qian Gold. ” Liang Haofeng knew Wang Shouzhe was not one to be deceived, and could only grit his teeth to suggest, “We will transfer all this to the Wang family.”

Blood was dripping from his heart. It was not easy for the Liang Clan to accumulate some assets from one generation to the next. This act of attempting to gain an advantage only to end up worse off instead has caused a huge loss to the clan.

“Hehe- Assets worth ten thousand Qian Gold?” Wang Shouzhe looked serious, “Old Ancestor Haofeng, are you treating my Wang family like beggars, thinking you can casually dismiss us?”

“Ah?” Liang Haofeng didn’t expect Wang Shouzhe to be so greedy. To him, assets worth tens of thousands of Qian Gold amounted to nothing more than dismissing a beggar? His face reddened in anger, realizing he’d have to cut his losses today. He gritted his teeth and said,” Our Liang Family bought an early- stage estate outside Changning Guard City, replete with over two thousand acres of orchards and a small lake. However, as you know, the estates near Changning Guard City are long-term investments, betting on the future long­term rise. Hence, the actual annual output value is relatively low, currently valued around ten thousand.”

The Wang family used to have several businesses both within and around Changning Guard City. However, in order to survive as a clan and for Ancestor Xiaohan to advance to the Spirit Platform Realm, they had to be sold off.

Changning Guard City and its surrounding areas were the core of the entire Changning region. The ratio of the overall industry’s sale price to output value was generally high in price but low in output.

However, the core area had development potential and was safer, so many clans were willing to buy it for the long term.

“Twenty thousand?” Wang Shouzhe hesitated slightly, “There seems to be some sincerity in this price. However, isn’t Old Ancestor Haofeng the only Ancestor in your family? If you should perish here, and your clan doesn’t have anyone else in the Spirit Platform Realm…”

Upon hearing this, Liang Haofeng’s eyebrows twitched with anger, “Clan Leader Wang is too greedy. If you continue to bully me, you might as well kill me, Liang Haofeng. Once the clan’s assets are sold, my great-grandson will have enough resources to impact the Spirit Platform Stage. You should at least be reasonable.”

“Greedy? Reasonable.” Wang Shouzhe sneered, “If it weren’t for a bit of my capability today, the Wang family would have been exterminated by you. When the time conies, where can my Wang family go to seek justice? Not to mention that I am now giving you a chance to buy your life and leave an opportunity for your clan to live. You participated in an action aimed at annihilating my Wang family. Even if I annihilate your whole clan, it is justifiable! Liang Haofeng, don’t waste your chance.”

Exterminated!

Liang Haofeng shivered, a flicker of fear twirling in his eyes. Could Wang Shouzhe actually do it? If he angers him, more than likely, and he definitely has the power to do so.

The Old Ancestor Mingsheng nearby also chipped in: “Shouzhe is right. You participated in an operation to exterminate a family. Now that you’ve failed, you have to face the consequences.”

At the same time, Old Ancestor Meng and Old Ancestor Ruhong also expressed their stance, they certainly would not stand idly by if Shouzhe sought a justifiable revenge on the Liang Family.

With that, Liang Haofeng immediately backed down, smiling bitterly at Wang Shouzhe, “Clan Leader Wang, name your price. I beg you to leave a lifeline for my Liang family.”

He understood that if he died here, and even if Wang Shouzhe was slightly targeted the Liang Family without an Ancestor in the Spirit Platform Realm, the Liang Clan would most likely be doomed.

“Forty thousand!” Wang Shouzhe calmly said, “The Liang family were short of funds to buy the Heavenly Spirit Pill, weren’t they? That proves your Liang family manages well and has saved quite a fortune. Liang Haofeng, don’t gloom. Just think of it as your Spirit Platform Realm successor failing.”

Forty thousand!

Liang Haofeng was utterly overwhelmed, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood. This Wang Shouzhe was just too ruthless!

Even the Old Ancestors, such as Ruhong, couldn’t help but twitch at the sight. Wang Shouzhe was truly terrifying when ruthless. This compensation of forty thousand would indeed debilitate the Western Ning Liang Family.

However, it made sense to do so. If the Liu and Zhao families has succeeded, the Wang family would have been in deep trouble.

No wonder Shouzhe was so brutal, seeking to maim the Liang family.

After a long while.

Liang Haofeng seemed as if all his energy had been drained, aging by at least a decade, and resignedly bemoaned: “I admit defeat.”

What followed was a series of issues regarding the contract.

With Wang Shouzhe’s knowledge about contracts, combined with witnessing from the three Old Ancestors, there wasn’t a single loophole in either the asset transfer or debt contracts.

Once things were settled.

Old Ancestor Ruhong and the other two looked at Wang Shouzhe with peculiar eyes. The kid was not only resourceful in winning people over but was also extremely ruthless towards enemies. Truly, he had a limitless future!

Forty thousand Qian Gold in compensation!

How many years of savings would it take for a Rank 9 clan to accumulate?

While they were also coveting this money, they knew it was what the Wang Family gained by risking the rise and fall, even extinction, of the clan, so they naturally wouldn’t have any intention to take any.

“The three Old Ancestors, although this matter is settled,” Wang Shouzhe ventured, “I feel that we, the clans of the same bloodline, need to strengthen the depth of our cooperation.”

The depth of the cooperation?

Old Ancestor Ruhong and the other two were plunged into deep thought.

“So the meaning of Shouzhe is that we all rise and fall together?” Old Ancestor Ruhong questioned.

“That’s just a part of it, after all, our clans are far less established compared to the prominent Celestial families.” Wang Shouzhe advised, “If we could be more tightly united, we could accomplish more things and gain more benefits.”
